Nuclear Waste
Surrealism Surrealism, meta-realism, beyond-realism, these all mean about the same thing. The objective is to take visual images beyond reality, maybe into the subconscious mind, maybe to a possible future. This school of art began in the early 20th century. Salvador Dali did it with a flair and a curly mustache. Rene Magritte did it with a bowler hat and a pipe. Several contemporary artists produced the attached surrealist art. These artists used only two dimensions. Image: Bruce Jones Surrealism.

The Atomic Priesthood Project (APHP)
he Atomic Priesthood Project (APHP) is an ongoing multidisciplinary project illustrating the relationship(s) between humans and deep time through the culture of nuclear waste stewardship. Initially conceived by Thomas Sebeok and Alvin Weinberg, The Atomic Priesthood was a proposed system of communicating the history, infrastructures, and science of nuclear waste materials on geologic timescales through the use of ritual, allegory, and superstition.

Exposome
The exposome is the lifetime of exposures (coming from both inside and outside of the body) to which a person comes in contact. The exposome concept (originally proposed by Christopher Wild) was made practical by Dr. Rappaport and his colleague Martyn Smith who set out to measure the collection of chemicals that are found circulating in the blood – the blood exposome. The blood exposome provides a record of a person’s exposures to a broad range of environmental agents including radiation, stress, infections, drugs, diet, and pollutants. Additionally, internal processes, such as inflammation, lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and gut flora also shape the blood exposome.

Radiation, Medications
Medications for Radiation Emergency
https://www.drugs.com/condition/radiation-emergency.html
An emergency in which there is, or is perceived to be, a hazard due to radiation exposure from a source. Drugs used to treat Radiation Emergency The following list of medications are in some way related to, or used in the treatment of this condition.
potassium iodide pentetate calcium trisodium Radiogardase SSKI ThyroShield Iosat

Radiation therapy Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses beams of intense energy to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy most often uses X-rays, but protons or other types of energy also can be used. The term "radiation therapy" most often refers to external beam radiation therapy.
A systemic radiation therapy called radioactive iodine, or I-131, is most often used to treat certain types of thyroid cancer.
Radiation Therapy Guide | Drugs.com
https://www.drugs.com/health-guide/radiation-therapy.html
Radiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast, prostate, testicles, and brain. When a tumor is going to be removed surgically, radiation can shrink it. This reduces the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed near the tumor.
Getting Oral or Systemic Radiation Therapy
https://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/treatment-types/radiation/systemic-radiation-therapy.html
Systemic radiation therapy uses radioactive drugs (called radiopharmaceuticals or radionuclides) to treat certain types of cancer, including thyroid, bone, and prostate cancer. These are liquid drugs made up of a radioactive substance. They can be given by mouth or put into a vein; they then travel throughout the body.

https://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/treatment-types/radiation/effects-on-different-parts-of-body.html
These drugs are given before radiation treatment to protect certain normal tissues in the treatment area. The one most commonly used today is amifostine. This drug may be used in people with head and neck cancer to reduce the mouth problems caused by radiation therapy. Not all doctors agree on how these drugs should be used in radiation therapy.
Radiation Therapy Side Effects - National Cancer Institute
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/types/radiation-therapy/side-effects
Radiation therapy has side effects because it not only kills or slows the growth of cancer cells, it can also affect nearby healthy cells. Many people who get radiation therapy experience fatigue. Other side effects depend on the part of the body that is being treated. Learn more about possible side effects.

"...a particular concern about the potential of the location of a nuclear waste storage facility six tenths of a mile from the shore of Lake Huron congressman Kildee speaks before fellow policymakers on the need to stop OPG's plan which he sees as a threat to the Great Lakes Democrats and Republicans in the House and the Senate have come together and today we introduced a resolution calling on the President and the Secretary of State to work with the Canadian government with Ontario Power Generation to please seek an alternate site. To date, a hundred and eighty-seven counties and governments around the lakes including Chicago and Toronto have passed resolutions against Opie G's proposal, and over a hundred and fifty thousand people have signed petitions against it in November 2015. Prime minister Justin Trudeau received a bipartisan letter signed by 32 of Congress including Dan Kildee, urging him to work against the proposal in park. It reads given the critical importance of these shared waters to our countries and the potentially catastrophic damages to the lakes from a nuclear accident we urge your administration not to approve this repository and consider alternative locations outside the Great Lakes basin ..." |

2021 The little town of Teeswater, Ontario, Canada - The newly proposed nuclear waste dump site
Teeswater is a community in the municipality of South Bruce, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. It is located 12 kilometers west of Mildmay, 16 kilometers north of Wingham on County Road 4, and 25 kilometers southeast of Ripley on Bruce Road 6. The population in 2016 was 995. Wikipedia On April 17th 2021, Doug Ford declared the 3rd Wave of COVID and shut down the province, yet again. This impacted the protesters who gathered to protest the future nuclear waste site. In May 4th, CTV news announced that ALL Lake Huron Beaches will be closed. The Great Lakes are a source of drinking water for over 40 million people. How do you measure a radioactive waste container…without opening it? |
NOTE:
1. Sites need to be near water to cool the containment. One-fifth of the worlds' Fresh Water supply are found in the Great Lakes. The contamination of the fresh water supply opens up big business opportunities (BBO) as pollution keeps occurring. Swimming, fishing, etc., may be banned in the future due to the half life of the substance.

Climate Protesters Missed The Boat
This is a presentation of information regarding the nuclear industry. In regards to climate change protestors. Our planet is in trouble. Nuclear pollution and contamination has affected everything. Radiation exposure is cumulative. The bombs tests in the US are still in our bodies. All the nuclear "accidents" Three Mile Island Pennsylvania, Chernobyl Russia, Fukushima Japan, the radionuclides from them are in us. It accumulates in everything. Radiation causes mutations (images available), sickness, disease, and other terrible affects and problems. Our future generations are left with this nuclear mess, if they live that long. Some radioactive material repository sites must be intact for thousands and millions of years. New Mexico site in the US must last 10,000 years, longer than the pyramids in Egypt. This is a serious issue. Please educate yourself about the nuclear contamination and industry.

Organ-Specific Effects of Low Dose Radiation Exposure: A Comprehensive Review
Eunguk Shin, et al. Front. Genet., 02 October 2020
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2020.566244/full
Determination of LDR exposure is an important problem for continuity of nuclear works and epidemiological analysis of nuclear accidents. However, the effects of LDR are subtle, and the absence of reliable biological markers has been obstacles. In this review, we summarized the biological markers caused by LDR in human, mouse, and cell studies for better understanding of the effects of LDR. Due to the limited studies that have investigated the changes in humans, most of the studies reviewed here were based on the findings in experimental models. The alterations of biological markers by LDR were summarized in Figure 1 and their related molecular events were listed with corresponding references in Table 1. By suggesting promising molecular markers expressed in each organ, we look forward to further studies to discover the LDR specific molecular makers based on this review.

Health Impact
It is extremely difficult to measure the impacts of radiation on human body, because of the “hidden” way it changes our body cells. One thing which remains clear, is that apart from the acute radiation symptoms like seizures or hair loss, radioactive substances cause serious long-term health problems. Many of these problems are of such character that doctors cannot determine if they were ultimately caused by radiation or other factors such as unhealthy lifestyle, genetics, etc. Some of the health issues from radiation are:
Effects of Ionizing Radiation on DNA Genetic injury is damage to the reproductive cells due to exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation and can be passed down to an organism’s offspring, perhaps generations later. Some potential illnesses could include birth abnormalities and cancer. Somatic and genetic injuries are not solely caused by ionizing radiation. Many chemical pollutants found in our environment such as cadmium, lead and mercury also can cause similar injuries. When ionizing radiation comes in contact with a cell any or all of the following may happen:
Gamma RaysHenri Becquerel is credited with discovering gamma radiation in 1896. Gamma rays are a highly penetrating ionizing electromagnetic radiation in the form of photons (light). They have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are the most penetrating of all of the forms of radiation. Gamma rays can be absorbed by denser materials (notice the blacker areas in the photo above), while passing through less dense materials. Gamma rays can interact with cells and DNA causing cell damage. While we all receive regular doses of gamma radiation from naturally occurring processes (such as radioactive decay), exposure to gamma radiation should be limited. Cancer Therapy1951 was an important year for both the fight against cancer and the emergence of Canada as a leader in the field of nuclear medicine. Previously, ionizing radiation from radium and x-rays had been used to treat cancers inside the … Continue reading → Radioactive Detectives | Extra long Episode Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw3SFOfbR84 |

Radioactive Nuclear Waste
“Before disposal, we need to be able to convert our radioactive waste into something that will last for tens, hundreds or even thousands of years without releasing any radioactivity and reduce its volume to the extent possible,” said Lago, a nuclear scientist at the Bariloche Atomic Centre at Argentina’s National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA).

Personal Radiation Dosimeter - Radiation Safety - Safety ...https://www.uth.edu/safety/radiation-safety/personal-radiation-dosimeter.htm
A radiation dosimeter or badge does not provide protection but detects and measures radiation that you have been exposed to. The badge will detect high-energy beta, gamma or x-ray radiation. Dosimeters cannot detect low energy beta radiation from some isotopes, including carbon-14, tritium or sulfur-35. What types of dosimeters are there? americium-241 is an artificial isotope a decomposition product of uranium it doesn't occur naturally and is therefore proof of the contamination of the area caused by the American bomb |

It was not just the video of an innocent guy, a concerned citizen, finding something radioactive and jumping to conclusions. It was the combination of that, combined with a lot of fear mongering by other people (not connected to him) on various websites – about crazy scenarios unfolding at Fukushima Daiichi. Azby Brown at Safecast Japan covered some of those stories here. I asked people to consider not forwarding email or web links that donʻt ring true here.
